Sampling in quasi shift-invariant spaces and Gabor frames generated by ratios of exponential polynomials

TL;DR
The paper addresses sampling and interpolation in shift-invariant and quasi shift-invariant spaces generated by two families of entire/meromorphic generators with exponential or Gaussian decay, and connects these results to Gabor frames with semi-regular lattices. It develops Beurling-density-based criteria and stability analyses for Gamma-shifts, employing weak-limit arguments and Jensen formulas to obtain sharp density thresholds. Key contributions include explicit density conditions for stable sampling and interpolation, constructions of non-uniqueness sets at critical densities, and concrete frame results for semi-regular Gabor systems driven by generators from $\mathcal{K}(\alpha)$ and $\mathcal{C}(\alpha)$. The findings advance the understanding of irregular sampling and frame design in time-frequency analysis, with practical implications for signal reconstruction on nonuniform grids and for the design of Gabor frames with Gaussian- or exponential-polynomial generators.
Abstract
We introduce two families of generators (functions) $\mathcal{G}$ that consist of entire and meromorphic functions enjoying a certain periodicity property and contain the classical Gaussian and hyperbolic secant generators. Sharp results are proved on the density of separated sets that provide non-uniform sampling for the shift-invariant and quasi shift-invariant spaces generated by elements of these families. As an application, we obtain new sharp results on the density of semi-regular lattices for the Gabor frames generated by elements from these families.
